Weekly workout schedule to help you achieve weight loss

by Adeyemi Salau

If you are looking forward to losing weight, a workout plan can  help you achieve this goal. However, this will work out if you add more  sweat sessions to your weekly routine to start with. There are many ways  to do this. You can choose to do running or join a group fitness if  that is what motivates. But remember to stick to one workout routine  because this will be an effective way and fit for you to lose weight.  Develop a plan to guide you through the entire journey.

Below is a  weekly workout schedule to help you achieve weight loss.

  1. Engage in body strength training on Monday

This training is key to losing weight by burning fats,  shaping your body and increasing the number of calories your body can  burn during your resting time. You will need enough floor space,  dumbbells and a bench for your workout.

Here is the body strength  training you will be doing every week three times.

  • Squats
  • Dumbbell press
  • Dumbbell row
  • Plank
  • Lying isometric
  • Box step-ups

2. Sprint intervals on Tuesday

This, unlike body strength training, burns a lot of calories in a  short time. You can use any available equipment for the exercise, for  instance, a rowing machine. Begin with a 30 seconds full out sprint  followed by 60 seconds jogs.

3. Steps and foam rolling for Wednesday

This is like your first resting day after two days of an  intense workout, but still, you do not sit around doing anything. The  foam rolling helps you maintain your mobility which is essential for you  to achieve good moves. Also, the movements help you burn more calories  from the energy exerted. Add some steps to the mobility work to increase  your blood flow. You can use the activity tracker app to help in  counting your steps.

4. On Thursday, repeat the full strength training you did on the first day.

5. Join a group fitness class on Friday

You can do this by signing up to a fitness class or come with  your friends to a cycling studio. Engage in high-intensity activities.

6. Repeat the body strength workout once more on Saturday.

Go on with this workout plan for about three to four weeks before you switch to another.

To sum up, dieting has been used by many to lose weight, but  exercises happen to be the most common and effective strategy used  today. With a weekly workout schedule, you can quickly burn a lot of  calories and hence weight loss. Also, you not only benefit from losing  weight but also having stronger bones, improve your mood and safety from  chronic illnesses.
